His pupils dilated sharply, and he scrutinized her for a few more moments.
Good heavens, is that a white cloud?
How did she become like this?
If it weren't for the whip in her hand, she wouldn't have recognized her even if she were waving it in front of her ten times.
Before Su Ruanruan could react, she discovered that the man who had been eating his plain noodles had slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"You filthy beggar, what nonsense are you spouting? Which eye of yours saw me dine and dash?"
The little beggar, Baiyun, immediately objected, "Who are you calling a beggar?! I am..."
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Su Ruanruan and saw her rubbing her chin and looking at her.
She cleared her throat. "Anyway, it's your fault. I heard you say you wanted scallions, but when he brought the cooked noodles to you, you said he made a mistake."
"He did nothing wrong, but he still smiled and made you a bowl of food without any scallions for free."
“I can clearly see that both bowls of noodles have already gone into the dog’s stomach.”
"Two bowls of plain noodles cost a total of twelve coins, but you only want to pay for one bowl. Not only that, you also expect him to serve you tea."
"He already said there's only warm water, no tea, and you're still not happy? You don't even want to pay the six coins."
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone with a skin thicker than the sole of a shoe."
“He didn’t earn a single penny, and even spent two pennies to buy a pinch of tea leaves from elsewhere as a tribute to you.”
"You're something else, complaining that this is stale tea and even smashing the teacup. Your face is bigger than a wooden basin. If you don't have money, why are you acting like a big shot? With this attitude, why don't you go to the restaurant across the street, book a private room, and sit there? There are plenty of people there who will treat you like a king."
On the second floor of the restaurant, Huo Yan and Wei Zheng held their wine glasses, listening intently to the sounds coming from downstairs.
"Hey, what do you know, you beggar? I can go wherever I want. Don't you even know that I'm a member of the Qianlai Gambling House? You think you're worthy to talk to me?"
"Don't even mention me eating two bowls of noodles for him; even if I smash this cripple's stall, he wouldn't dare say a word. Isn't he a dead cripple?"
When Bai Yun heard the man mention Qianlai Gambling House, his expression instantly turned cold.
"Oh, it's him again. As expected, no one associated with Zeng Yuan's family is any good."
Su Ruanruan didn't know what she meant by mentioning Zeng Yuan's family, but she saw that Zeng Yuan was glaring at her with gritted teeth.
It was as if he were looking at an enemy.
"You dare to insult my young master? You must have a death wish. I'll teach you a lesson."
The man rushed forward to punch Bai Yun.
Su Ruanruan quickly moved away; when the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer, and she didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.
But Bai Yun wouldn't give her that chance. She grabbed Su Ruanruan's arm and pulled her in front of her, blocking the fist that was about to come at her.
Su Ruanruan's face turned pale. Bai Yun clearly had some martial arts skills, yet he still used her as a human shield.
That's utterly unsportsmanlike!
Is the whip in her hand just for show?
Or is the whip in her hand only for her? Is it only used to whip Su Ruanruan?
The fist was almost within reach, and the wind from it was coming straight at him.
Su Ruanruan's arms were tightly held by Bai Yun.
She quickly lowered her head, trying to escape, but Baiyun didn't give her the chance, grabbing her hair and forcing her to look up.
Su Ruanruan: "..."
?⊙□⊙╱Stick your face out so I can hit you.
At this moment, she really wanted to utter the essence of traditional Chinese culture.
Su Ruanruan was prepared to be bruised and battered, but in the next instant, a strong hand grabbed the man's arm.
Su Ruanruan looked down the arm and saw the man with the one leg.
She suddenly noticed that the man was very tall and looked to be the strong and powerful type.
He did seem like a trained fighter. Su Ruanruan examined him more closely and found that when the two sparred, he could easily dodge the other person's punches, and he was very adept at defense.
However, they only defend and don't attack.
Even someone who doesn't know anything about kung fu could sense the difference.
Bai Yun, that tomboy who knows a bit of fancy martial arts, should be able to see the tricks of the trade and be more easily attracted to the battles that interest her.
Su Ruanruan turned her head and glanced back. Sure enough, her attention wasn't on her; her eyes were sparkling as she looked ahead.
Su Ruanruan lowered her head again and lifted her heels.
They stomped hard on the white clouds and crushed them mercilessly.
Suddenly, the sound of a pig being slaughtered came from behind.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Ruanruan quickly shook off her and freed her arm.
He turned around and punched her hard, and they started fighting.
Do you think she's easy to bully?
Is she really that harmless, innocent, and cute?
Although I once again felt the tragic sense of "killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of my own," I also wanted to let her know that I wasn't so easy to bully.
No one dared to intervene in the fight; that man was a thug from the gambling den, and they dared not offend him.
As for Su Ruanruan and Bai Yun, they just watched the excitement from afar.
Both of them had bruises on their faces, but Su Ruanruan suddenly shouted, "Baiyun is here!"
Bai Yun was startled and quickly got off Su Ruanruan and ran away in a flash.
Su Ruanruan turned over and patted the dust off her body.
As expected, she didn't want to reveal her identity.
Otherwise, they would have introduced themselves long ago.
She just didn't understand how she had gotten into this state.
Even if her father takes her back, she'll just be grounded. Why is she so afraid?
Upstairs, Wei Zheng had already burst out laughing.
"Sigh, I must say, this Su Ruanruan is quite a character. She knows she can't beat them, but she's still incredibly brave."
